RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Michael Catanzaro 2022-06-06 13:30:43 UTC 
Source Code Pro is available in RHEL 9 according to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2093244#c6, so it should be our default monospace font, to avoid diverging from upstream. We can simply drop the org.gnome.desktop.interface.rhel.gschema.override. Note this file exists upstream, so it should be removed in Fedora as well.

This change will break all systems which do not have Source Code Pro installed unless a different monospace font is manually configured. This is OK because gsettings-desktop-schemas has a Recommends: font(sourcecodepro). Tools that ignore Recommends do so at their peril. We should make sure that it gets installed properly when installing RHEL.
Comment 1 Tomas Popela 2022-06-06 13:42:30 UTC 
Also we should make sure that whatever change is done, then it's propagated to Fedora so it gets through Fedora ELN into RHEL 10.
Comment 2 Michael Catanzaro 2022-06-06 13:48:31 UTC 
It doesn't seem to be available in BaseOS or AppStream:

$ sudo dnf install adobe-source-code-pro-fonts

> It doesn't seem to be available in BaseOS or AppStream:

Looking into it again, it's part of the BUILDROOT repository and it's maintained by Akira, maybe he's willing to move it into AppStream.
Comment 4 Tomas Popela 2022-07-25 11:30:34 UTC 
The package was moved to AppStream, should we proceed with this change?
Comment 5 Michael Catanzaro 2022-07-25 12:53:50 UTC 
I'll make this change in ELN now.

Not sure if changing this in RHEL 9 is worth it or not. It would break 9.0 -> 9.1 upgrades for anyone who doesn't already have the font installed unless we have some way to pull it in on upgrades.

OK, should be good then...

...assuming anaconda respects the Recommends. But I don't know whether it actually does.
Comment 8 Carlos Garnacho 2022-11-23 00:12:04 UTC 
Fixed in gsettings-desktop-schemas-40.0-5.el9.
Comment 10 Michael Catanzaro 2022-12-21 17:21:22 UTC 
So this revealed a problem. Because Source Code Pro was in buildroot for 9.0, and only entered AppStream in 9.1, anyone who has RHEL 9.0 installed and upgrades that to 9.2 will not get Source Code Pro installed. The Recommends in the gsettings-desktop-schema spec file are not applied on upgrade.

Suggestion is to change the Recommends to Requires in RHEL 9.

Tomas Popela plans to implement this change.
